Apple and Honey Omnia Cake

Apple & honey cake

6 min read

This apple and honey cake is perfect for the autumn. It’s a cake with the taste of an apple crumble. We made this as our entry for the Van Bake Off competition which is back this year. If you like baking be sure to enter.

This cake was made even more special to us as we used some honey given to us by our lovely friends Carl and Sally-Anne of @motorhominglife. The honey was produced by their bees in Portugal and they kindly bought some to the UK for us to try.

If you are cooking in a conventional oven, then you can bake this in a 20cm round tin at Gas mark 4

As delicious as this honey is we have been saving it for a special occasion! This honey was given to us by our friends Carl & Sally-Anne and was produced by their bees in Portugal. As lovely as it is to eat straight out the jar I knew I needed to make a cake with it, so here it is. Apple & honey cake.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Butter (115g) Cut into cubes
  • 1 1/4 cups Self raising flour 225g
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 6 tbsp Milk
  • 3 Pink Lady Apples 2 peeled & cubed. 1 sliced
  • 4 tbsp Honey

Instructions
 

  • Cube the butter and mix it with the flour to create a breadcrumb texture
  • Stir in the sugar
  • Add in the milk and egg and mix thoroughly together
  • Peel & chop 2 of the apples and stir them through the mixture
  • Stir through 2 tablespoons of the honey
  • Pour into the silicone mould, the mixture will be quite thick
  • Slice the remaining apple and place around the top of the cake. Drizzle with some extra honey
  • Cook over a low flame for 35-40 minutes
  • Leave in the mould to cool as it may break if you remove it while hot. Drizzle the last tablespoon of honey over the top (or more if you love it as much as us!)
  • Once cooled, it is ready to cut and serve. Although it is super tasty when still warm

Notes
